Chapter 597

The truth made Wan Shan and the others' faces turn ugly.

However, Hei Feng didn't seem to notice, or maybe he didn't care even if he did. He continued, "We have more than ten Primordial Core Realm cultivators in the Black Wolf Bastion. We are only here to recruit you along with Longhu."

"Recruitment? You will die if you don't agree. Is this the attitude of recruitment? I don't agree." Wan Shan said loudly.

At the same time, six Primordial Core Realm cultivators rushed out from the mountain below. They flew over and stood behind Wan Shan. They looked at the three coldly with murderous intent surging around them.

There were eleven Primordial Core Realm cultivators in total. Six of them had Elixir Weapons, while the other five were bare-handed.

Hei Feng and Ye Lang were still calm in the face of such obvious hostility. Hei Feng took out five Elixir Weapons from his Spirit Ring and threw them to the five Primordial Core Realm cultivators who didn't have Elixir Weapons.

The five of them caught the Elixir Weapons subconsciously. They were stunned.

"Hei Feng, what is the meaning of this?" Wan Shan said loudly. Obviously, he was also confused by Hei Feng's actions.

"Nothing. I am just passing on the words of my master. He wants to tell you about the benefits of recruitment."

Hei Feng paused and said, "My master said that the benefits of recruiting Primordial Core Realm cultivators are one Elixir Weapon and one hundred thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones a year."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the number. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Hei Feng in disbelief.

Wan Shan shouted, "Hei Feng, do you think we are monkeys? One hundred thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones a year? I think it is one hundred thousand lower-grade Primordial Stones."

Hei Feng shook his head and said indifferently, "You don't have to worry about this. I am sure that it is one hundred thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones. It doesn't matter if it is a yearly payment or a monthly payment. However, you have to agree."

"My master needs Primordial Core Realm cultivators to fight. He has made it clear before we came that anyone who refuses will be killed. Alright, you know the benefits and consequences. As for life or death, you can choose."

Hei Feng and Ye Lang took a few steps back and left the battlefield to Longhu.

The expressions of the eleven Primordial Core Realm cultivators kept changing. They seemed to be hesitating. Longhu's cultivation was only in the air. They all had Elixir Weapons in their hands, but they were still terrified of him..

Moreover, as their attention fell on Longhu, they realized that Longhu's head was extremely similar to the legendary Divine Dragon. This discovery caused their expressions to change again.

"Do you believe that it can deal with all of us?" Wan Shan held the Elixir Weapon. His gaze swept past Longhu and landed on Hei Feng.

"We still need to go and recruit the Dan essences of other forces. We don't have much time. You'd better make your choice quickly." This time, it was Wild Wolf who spoke. He seemed a little impatient.

"You." Wan Shan's expression turned even uglier.

The eleven of them could not make a decision for a long time, and Longhu was also impatient. Suddenly, a brilliant light flashed around his body, and a powerful aura surged out of his body. Then, his body turned into a beam of light, and with a step in the air, he rushed toward the eleven Primal Core cultivators.

"Boom!"

It was as if they had been hit by a super powerful cannonball. With a loud explosion, the 66 Dan Essence Stage experts were sent flying. Screams rang out in the sky, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

The eleven of them were sent flying, and their bodies smashed into the mountain below with a loud bang. Among them, one of the ordinary Dan Essence Stage experts was even killed by Longhu's attack.

The ten Dan Essence Stage experts stood up one after another. When they saw the dead Dan Essence Stage expert, their expressions changed drastically. Their eyes were filled with fear and shock.

"Submit, or die." Longhu's cold eyes swept across the group of Dan Essence Stage experts below, and his body surged with unrestrained killing intent.

"Submit, we choose to submit." Longhu's powerful strength deeply shocked them, and the ten Dan Essence Stage experts hurriedly agreed.

Even Wild Wolf and Hei Feng were shocked when they saw the eleven Dan Essence Stage experts being sent flying, and one of them even died. The two of them looked at each other, and at the same time, they were glad that they had made the right choice.

The ten of them were successfully recruited, and then they obediently followed the three of them to find the next force. With the powerful Longhu around, the recruitment would obviously be very smooth.

Flapping the Heavenly Thunder Wings, Zi Chen rushed at full speed. It only took him a day to reach the Core Formation Pavilion.

"My Lord, the Core Formation Pavilion is in front." Dan Essence pointed at the peak in front of them and said respectfully.

It was a towering mountain peak, but half of it had been forcefully chopped off by a sharp blade. The Core Formation Pavilion was located on top of it.

"My Lord, flying is not allowed here. Everyone who comes here has to walk up the stairs. That Dan Essence Stage expert is on the peak."

Dan Essence also told him that there was a rule here, and other Dan Essence Stage experts were not allowed to come close.

"My Lord, please go up. I will wait here." Dan Essence said respectfully, then turned and left.

Zi Chen nodded and walked straight up the stone stairs.

The stone stairs meandered to the peak, but it was very narrow, and only allowed one person to walk. Zi Chen originally thought that there was something strange about the stone stairs, and that it could be used to test one's cultivation. However, when he stepped on it, it was just like walking on ordinary stone stairs, and there was nothing special about it.

During this time, Zi Chen also saw many cultivators at the peak of the Zephyr Realm climbing up the stone stairs, one step at a time, as they walked towards the peak.

These were all Zephyrs who feared the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation. They had chosen to form their Core here. If they did not have a fortuitous encounter, they would be stuck at the early Dan Essence Stage, and would never be able to reach the middle Dan Essence Stage.

Suddenly, a ray of light flew over Zi Chen's head. It was a human figure, and the aura of Dan Essence Stage surged around him.

"Haha, I have finally broken through to the Dan Essence Stage, and become a Dan Essence Old Monster. Chaos Lands, I have come." The figure flew from the peak to the horizon, and seemed very excited. His loud laughter resounded in the sky.

Breaking through to the Dan Essence Stage was equivalent to the Master Stage in the Barbarian Land. It was indeed an extremely powerful existence, and to be able to break through to this stage was naturally something to be proud of. Unfortunately, without the Heavenly Lightning Tribulation, this kind of strength and pride would be reduced after leaving this place.

It was indeed Dan Essence Stage, but it was the weakest and most ordinary Dan Essence Stage.

As soon as he arrived, he saw a Dan Essence Stage expert fly out. Zi Chen was very surprised, but what surprised him even more was that it was actually possible to fly here.

When Dan Essence Stage experts said that one could only walk and not fly, it was obviously aimed at Zephyrs who came to form their Core, and not Dan Essence Stage experts. This was obviously a man-made rule, and not the rule of the Core Formation Pavilion itself.

Thus, without saying anything, Zi Chen leaped up and flew towards the peak.

The moment Zi Chen leaped into the air, the Zephyrs who were climbing the stone steps saw him and exclaimed in surprise. However, after realizing that Zi Chen was only at the late Zephyr Realm, a trace of pity appeared on their faces.

Faintly, Zi Chen could hear murmurs of not knowing the rules, not knowing the meaning of death, and so on.

Flying was naturally faster than climbing the stone steps. In just two breaths, Zi Chen reached the peak and stood in the air, looking down.

The peak was smooth and flat, as if it was cut by a sharp blade. The area was several miles, like a wide square, and the huge Core Formation Pavilion was located at the center of the square.

The Core Formation Pavilion was like a pavilion. It was made of stone, but the stone surface of the Core Formation Pavilion was engraved with some complicated and mysterious patterns. It was these patterns that blocked the heavenly secrets, allowing Zephyr Realm cultivators to fly by deceiving the heavens.

The Core Formation Pavilion was very big, enough to accommodate dozens of people. However, the strange thing was that there was only one Zephyr Realm cultivator meditating in the pavilion. Other than that, there were close to a hundred Zephyr Realm cultivators in the huge square in a long line, seemingly waiting to enter the Core Formation Pavilion.

Zi Chen's figure leaping into the air was naturally noticed by everyone. Thus, everyone raised their heads, and after sensing Zi Chen's strength at the late Zephyr Realm, they looked at Zi Chen with extreme pity and disdain.

"A mere late Zephyr Realm cultivator dares to break the rules and fly up here. He's courting death."

"He's probably a hothead who doesn't know where this place is, and that's why he came up here. It's a pity that he doesn't know that running around in the Chaotic Lands is suicide."

"In the Chaotic Lands, the only outcome for those who break the rules is death."

A group of Zephyr Realm cultivators who were waiting to form their Core Formation Pavilion gave Zi Chen a death sentence without hesitation.

"Flying in the Core Formation Pavilion is forbidden. Those who break the rules will die."

However, the overlord who was guarding the place was even more direct. He, who was near the Core Formation Pavilion, raised his hand and blasted out a beam of energy, slashing at Zi Chen in the air.

When the beam of energy flew into the air, it turned into a sharp blade, emitting a powerful aura, and slashed at Zi Chen's head.

"Boom!"

Zi Chen swung his fist at the sharp blade, and a large patch of golden light began to flash. Suddenly, a loud sound rang out in the sky, and streams of energy surged in the sky.

Those Zephyr Realm cultivators who were full of pity and disdain were already waiting to see Zi Chen die. However, when they saw Zi Chen destroy the attack of an Inner Core cultivator with a single punch, they widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Mm." The Inner Core cultivator of the overlord force also raised his head in the next moment, looking at Zi Chen in the air in surprise.

After destroying the opponent's attack with a single punch, Zi Chen did not have any injuries on his body. He was safe and sound.

"Which of the five overlords do you belong to?" Zi Chen stood in the air, looking down at the Inner Core cultivator as he asked.

This was a man in battle armor. At this moment, he was looking up at Zi Chen. When he heard Zi Chen's words, his pupils shrank.

When they heard Zi Chen's question, the group of Zephyr Realm cultivators who were waiting for the Core Formation Pavilion were even more stunned.

As if sensing an unusual aura from Zi Chen's body, the other party stood up in the next moment. His originally playful expression turned serious in the next moment.

"Which of the five families do you belong to?" Zi Chen's body emitted a faint golden light as he descended from the sky and asked coldly.

"The Shangguan Family." The Inner Core cultivator looked directly at Zi Chen.

"Then, do you belong to Shangguan Feixiong or Shangguan Feilin?"

Zi Chen asked again, walking towards the Shangguan Family cultivator step by step. The faint golden light around him also became brighter.

Hearing this, the Inner Core cultivator's expression changed. He asked coldly, "Who are you? Why do you know about our Shangguan Family?"
